SELF-SUPPORTING SWIMMING POOL
Move the two fixing nuts of the Skim-filter support until they reach the closure flange. Then screw them in strongly. Lean the Skim-filter slightly
and fix the cable in the rear part of the Clamp support.
FILTRATION
The Skim-filter is designed to suck in and hold the impurities floating in the pool water. After an initial filtration treatment (until the pool water is
clean), the full volume of the pool should be recirculated once daily.
The component which cleans the water is the filtering cartridge (AR-86) located inside the Skim-filter. This is formed by a cloth with a very fine
stitch which holds the dirtiness.
Depending on the dirtiness, hours of filtration and pool volume, the filtering cartridge (AR-86) may require cleaning with more or less regularity.
When you notice that the amount of water returned to inside of the pool decreases, then the filtering cartridge should be cleaned.
Filtering requirements depend on the volume in m
the model AR-121 or AR-124.
Turn the motor off for at least 2 hours between operation intervals.
The aforementioned off time should be followed in the initial filtering treatment. It is recommended to increase the filtering time as the water
temperature of the pool increases.
NEVER PLACE CHEMICAL PRODUCTS IN THE BASKET OR THROUGH THE SPONGES OR CARTRIDGE, AS THIS WILL DAMAGE THE
5. MAINTENANCE:
CLEANING THE FILTERING CARTRIDGE
Disconnect the power outlet apparatus and remove it from the swimming pool.
Pull the float (No. 3) hard and remove it from the tube and extract the cartridge from inside. Place the cartridge under low pressure running water
(not a jet) from a hose until the filter is clean (Fig. 5).
Before replacing the cartridge (AR-86) use the hose to clean out the inside of the Skim-filter (Fig. 7) and make sure the cartridge is replaced
correctly centered and pushed down until the cartridge is firmly in place (Fig. 8). Once everything has been reassembled correctly replace the
Skim-filter back into the pool
After several washing cycles, it may be necessary to change the filtering cartridge. To do this, call the swimming pool manufacturer on the
number indicated in the instructions.
6. CLEANING THE BOTTOM OF THE SWIMMING POOL
The equipment with the AR-2062 pool floor cleaner accessory can be used to clean the bottom of the swimming pool.
Consult your dealer or the After-sales Service of the pool manufacturer.
Always use original spare parts.
Efficiency is reduced if a longer hose than necessary is used to reach all points of the swimming pool. Cut any excess hose.
CONNECTING THE FLOOR CLEANER TO THE EQUIPMENT:
Remove the float of the skimfilter, place the suction cover accessory (no. 4) on the upper part of the skimfilter with the intake facing upwards and
submerge the skimmer inside the pool so that the suction cover does not intake air.
Prime the hose as follows: With the pole and the hose connected, place the floor cleaner slowly inside the pool vertically letting it fill with water
and keeping the rest of the hose out of the water. Gradually place the hose in the water until it completely fills with water. The floor cleaner will
not suction unless the hose is fully primed, which could damage the equipment if it operates with no air.
Connect it to the suction cover intake, taking care that air does not enter. The hose and the cover connection should always be submerged to
avoid air from entering.
Start-up the equipment and clean the swimming pool floor.
7. ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
To guarantee electrical safety, the equipment is provided with an electrical unit that is protected against the inlet of water. If a cable or any of the
components are damaged, the whole electrical unit should be changed.
None of the components of this electrical unit should be handled, as it would affect the safety of the equipment.
REPLACING THE ELECTRICAL UNIT
If a cable or a component of the electrical unit is damaged, proceed as follows:
• Disconnect the apparatus from the mains.
• Dismantle the apparatus from the swimming pool and remove.
• Disconnect the motor from the body unit at the bottom of the apparatus and remove.
Skim-filter AR121-AR121E
When replacing the electric unit, please note that there is a screw beside the motor, as indicated in Fig. A. This screw should never be
tightened any further. It is a safety screw to prevent children from removing the motor.
To remove the motor, turn the skim-filter so that it is easier to work. First completely loosen the screw (Fig. B) and then remove the motor
making a quarter turn towards the right, taking care to lift the flap (Fig. C) to correctly remove the motor. To place the motor back in the skim-
filter, the motor should first be inserted turning to the left and then tightening the screw back to its original position.
Place the new motor and fasten it to the body unit.
Skim-filter AR124-AR124E
Unscrew the 3 screws that hold the motor and remove the electric/motor unit.
Place the new electric/motor unit by tightening the 3 screws to the body of the skimmer and place the bottom cover by tightening the 3
corresponding screws
• Reassemble the equipment in the pool following the instructions given in the INSTALLATION section of this manual.
8. WINTER – MAINTENANCE WHEN OUT OF USE
To ensure that the equipment is well preserved, it should be stored during winter or during long periods when it is not used. To do this, dismantle
it from the pool, clean the filter and dry all the components with a soft cloth or absorbent paper so that it is not scratched. It is recommended to
store the equipment in its original packaging and in a dry place. It is advisable to use this opportunity to visually check the state of the cable and
other electrical components and replace if necessary. To do this, follow the instructions indicated in the section ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.
After the winter, install the equipment as if it were new.
